Lyrics:

Yeah

I wasn't born lookin' back
I can't tell white from black
Kesey next to me now darlin'
Straighter than a railroad track
I've been so high my mind was fried
I had to dodge the farmers on the midnight ride
And that ain't all
I ain't even got me a congressman I can call
Alright

I seen 'em dumpin' garbage
In my rivers and lakes
I seen 'em send up John Sinclair
You know two joints is all it takes
Then suddenly I was in a tree
And dogs was barkin' up at me, yeah
Can't you see
I'm so damn apathetic, I can't believe I'm free
Oh, mercy

There's a senator he's signin' bills, you know
And he's tellin' us which way we have to go
Think it's time we got together and declared
When you see 'em comin', man, you get so scared


Rain is fallin' down
But you know I'm feelin' fine
I think I'll watch the TV set
And let America steal my mind
But you know I'm cool, Mama had a rule
She didn't raise no fool to be a tool to someone else
Lord, have mercy
I'm runnin' down that highway child
I'm gonna be myself

Oh, highway child
Highway child
Highway child
Highway child
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah
